`R. F. HL'AVATY QUILTED PAD AND THE LIKE Filed March 3, 1934 Patented Oct. 8, 1935 UNITED STAT Es z Qumran PAD AND 'rms'rnm Rudolf Hlavaty, Gicero, `Ill. Application March 3, 1934, serial N9. 713,894 i 1 calm. loi. 1st-54') This invention relates to that type of pliant quilted pads and'covJerings for domestic and like uses, in which an intermediate or central sheet, or layer of cotton batting or like filamentary ma- 5 terial is enclosed between upper and under sheets prises an assemblage of parts in which a central layer of cotton batting or equivalent pliable fibrous or iilamentary material is enclosed between upper andunder thin sheets of Wovenr fabric, with said parts securely attached together/by rows' of thread stitches, either of the lock stitch, the chain stitch or the combination stitch types of machine formation, and which in this invention has the interengaging connection between threads of each individual stitch located at the mid-thickness of the aforesaid central layer of the pad body and in such location aiding materially in affording increased pliability in the completed article. The body portion thus far completed then receiving on one or both of its faces a layer of thin woven fabric that is impregnated with a quick drying semi-duid waterproong composition such as india rubber cement.

The amount of said semi-fluid composition will be in sumcient excess to provide portions thereof to dow into the flaring needle holes formed dur;-

ing the quilting operation, to fill said holes and in doing so interlock the connections of the individual thread stitch portions in said holes, all as will hereinafter more fully appear. In theaccompanying drawing: f

Fig. l is a plan view of a portion of a flexible quilted pad or covering of the type to which this invention is especially applicable. y

Fig. 2 is'an enlarged detail section on line -ii, Fig. l, illustrating the invention as applied to the above mentioned type of pads or coverings, and in which is shown the upper and lower faces of the pad body provided with waterproof facings, and, which in addition shows the use of lockstitch type of thread stitchesfor connecting the pad body portions together. Y

^Fig. 3 is a companion viewto Fig. 2, illustrating a form of the pad or covering in which only use in connection with that one face of the pad body carries the above mentioned waterproof facing, and in which' is shown. thread stitching of the single chain stitch for. securing the quilted body of the pad together.

Like reference numerals indicate like parts in the different views. This improvement "is specifically adapted for type of pliable quilted pads and coverings which comprise a central sheet yor layer l' of cottonk batting or like fllamentary material, sheets or llayers 2 of woven fabric applied to' opposite yfaces of the central sheet l aforesaid, rows of thread stitches d of the lock stitchf the chain stitch or the combination stitch types, by which the series of sheets `l and 2 aforesaid are secured together in a pliable manner, and a waterproof coating t applied to one orl both faces of the quilted body portion of the pad or covering formed by the' sheets l and it and attaching thread stitches 3 aforesaid.

The material features of this improvement ini "Il volves in a pad or covering of the formation above V described, the location of the interengaging oonnections 5 of the thread stitches il at the midthickness of the aforesaid central sheet or layer Ii of the quilted pad body at a point of minimum independent movement of the interlocking connections of the thread stitches in repeated fiexures of the pad or covering in continued actual use. In coacting relation to said location of the interlocked connections of the thread stitches this improvement involves the detailformation of the aforesaid waterproof coating or facing t from a sheet t of thin imperforate woven fabric impregnated with a. rapid drying semi-huid body 'ri of waterproofing material such as india rubber cement.

The adhesive qualities of said waterproofing body i, in addition to eectively attaching the aforesaid sheet b, to a woven fabric sheet 2 of the quilted body portion of a pad or covering which, owing to its fluent nature will ow into air the flaring needle'holes t formed in the thread stitching operation on the quilted body of the pad, to additionally bind the padparts together and at the same time permeate and strengthen 'the aforesaid connections 5 of the thread stitches in their location at lthe mid-thickness -of the aforesaid central sheet or layer i without impairing tile desired pliability of the finished pad or covering.

Having thus fully described my invention,'what I claim as new, is:- I

YA pliant household pad or covering comprising an inner sheet of brous material, outer sheets of woven fabric applied to the opposite faces of the inner sheet, crossed rows of thread stitches attaching said sheets together with the interlocking connections of said threads located midway 5 the thickness of the inner sheet` and at the point neutral to movement of the interlocking con- Vnections of -the stitches in the repeated flexure of the' pad 'in actual use, a sheet of woven fabric applied-to a face o f the pad body, and a waterproong solution permeating said last mentioned sheet and adapted to ow into the series of flaring needle holes formed during the stitching operation and bind and reinforce the interlocking connections of vthe stitches against independent movement.
